The Flippin' Filipino is a fantastic Huntsville food truck, matthewbwake writes. He had the caldereta — 'a savory/zesty stew of pork, carrots, potatoes, peas and peppers in tomato-sauce ... accessible international comfort food' — and much more. 🤤🇵🇭
Growing up in the Philippines, Mary Chappell watched a lot of “Beverly Hills, 90210″ and “Baywatch.” From those sunny and glamourous TV depictions of Southern California, she assumed that’s what life was likethe United States. In the early ‘90s, Chappell experienced culture shock when, at age 12, her family moved to Baldwin County, Alabama, after the U.S. military base her mom worked at closed.
Chappell is grateful for the recognition, which she says came about after Food & Wine’s writers read a piece a local business writer had done on Flippin’ Filipino. “This is my dream being filled,” she says of her business. “And not just mine, but also for my family.” And I saw what I was making in those couple of days was more than what I would make for the whole month [working parttime at the clinic],” Chappell says. “And so it was no brainer for me to hang-up, you know, the medical business. I’d said a lot of prayers, and it really was the best decision I’ve ever made.”
